how do i fix this?.. there's this dialog box which keeps popping up saying "Internet Download Manager has been registered with a fake Serial Number. Be aware that the caracked product may work incorrectly and download files with error. Thus we advise you to purchase the full-featured product." then also every time when i click OK, it opens up a link on the internet. and that's so annoying. can you please help me?

"Note: If you get the message "Fake serial number" after installing, uninstall IDM, run "Unregister.IDM" to remove any previous serial from registry, reboot PC, install IDM again, use the crack & regfile to activate it. "

Tired of being POPED up by "Fake serial number" after installing, uninstall IDM, run "Unregister.IDM"..??? then you need to uninstall the software and reboot the PC then install it again and patch., after activate again and again and again everytime you restart your PC??? Instead of using this version of software., try to use the IDM 5.12 -->100% working w/o f**** poped up., mine is 2 years already ONLY Cracked and still working FINE..! ;D

Yeah, I downloaded it and it worked great for a while, then the pop-ups started: "registered with a fake serial number..." i've reinstalled it, done the registry, etc, followed the directions a few times, only to find that the pop-ups keep coming.

Guys, as with most cracked software, it's very important to disconnect your computer from the internet BEFORE you install it. Most software automatically checks their servers for updates and at the same time can detect fake CD keys and lock the program.

So disconnect your computer from the internet, install the software as per the instructions on Notepad, then run the program still with the net disconnected and enter the Options/Preferences menu and disable all automatic updates, all settings that send "anonymous data to improve our services" etc. and THEN plug your internet back in.

Thanks man, got it today, installed it today. Followed directions to the T. Opened up program for the first time and it keeps telling me that it hasn't been registered for 15 days. Also asking for registration details.

seriously guys is it taht good??
I have been using the net for many years and I am downloading in normal http and ftp and never had a problem...a friend of mine recently told me about it and that its really makes the downloads faster.....anybody have any idea if its really that good and really helps as they say???

ashraf29 it is good, but you have to do the process told in the "Install Notes", again and again, every time you start your computer. If you can do it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,go ahead, it is the best software, will give you full speed, and youtube video downloads.........
